Tech correspondent for CBS and CNN decided to break away from some of his gadgets (apparently at his wife's insistence) and has written up his plan as advice for others to follow.

Very little evidence anybody else has used the plan to good effect, making me wonder what the standards are for writing an entire book about your proposed intervention.

Unctuous, cutesy writing style -- for example, he recommends as a useful gadget to own "Clocky" a little alarm clock with rubber wheels --- "when it's time for wakey wakey, Clocky takes a jumpy jumpy right off your night table" (p. 169).

Since he recommends doing stuff I already do (e.g., read newspaper) and at least temporarily pulling yourself away from or at least cutting back on stuff I don't do (texting, facebook, cell phone, smartphone "apps", e-reader........) it was easy for me to agree with overall message, but I can't recommend the book itself.

Автор предлагает использовать технологии только там где они действительно помогают и не использовать там где можно обойтись.(позитивная компьютеризация).

Слабовато, а может банально... Или не актуально. Возможно, пока, все не так плохо, как описывает автор.

Тема диджитал детокса интересует меня давно, поэтому прочитал «Цифровую диету» Дэниела Сиберга.
Если существует булшит-бинго по self-help книгам, то здесь бы мы управились страниц за 10.

Журналист был зависим от интернета, это разрушало его жизнь, но тут ему довелось нырнуть в море к стае тигровых акул. Не шевелясь и гляди им в глаза, он понял, как отучить себя от гаджетов.

Что советует автор?
Не пользоваться гаджетами несколько дней, а потом начать пользоваться, но чуть-чуть. Конечно, этого мало для целой книги, поэтому также нам рекомендуют:
1. убрать все гаджеты в мусорный пакет
2. Засовывать айфон во время ужина в холодильник, чтобы подавать себе его на десерт
3. Не пользоваться навигатором, а постоянно спрашивать дорогу.
Когда советы кончаются, повествование резко уходит в сторону, и автор начинает советовать полезные приложения. Ну как полезные, к примеру, приложение с советами о том, как свести к минимуму радиационный вред от телефона.

Книгу читать смысла нет, а вот ограничивать себя в интернете мне кажется полезным. За год экспериментов я научился справляться со всем, кроме каналов в телеграмме - они всегда рядом, не получается забить.

А вы замечали, что слишком много времени проводите в соц сетях? Пытались как-то бороться?

„Для большинства из нас действует правило: чем больше гаджетов, тем больше мы отвлекаемся, тем менее эффективно работаем.”
Cartea „Dieta electronică: Cum să învingi dependența de tehnologie?” ar trebui să ne ajute să ne deparasăm de multitudinea de „aparate”: telefoane, laptop, ipad, ceasuri electronice etc. de care suntem înconjurați și care ne dictează modul de a fi. Trezirea de dimineață și deconectarea alarmei iar apoi verificarea poștei sau a profilului de facebook denotă o dependență de aceste tehonologii. Astfel cartea este un curs de detoxifiere de la tehnologii pentru 30 de zile. Primul pas, cred că cel mai greu, este să aduni toată tehnica într-un loc și șă o pui într-o cutie pentru primele 2-3 zile, și să înlocuiești toate aceste tehnologii cu un bloknote în care să-ți organizezi lucururile și să scrii de ce ai fi avut nevoie de una sau altă tehnologie, și cum te simți atunci când nu le utilizezi!
După această primă etapă urmează reintroducerea treptată a tehnologiei în viața personală și monitorizarea pentru început a timpului de utilizare la 30 de minute apoi la o oră și 30 min. pe zi. Autorul introduce noțiunea de indexul de tehnologie, anologie cu indexul de greutate... Păcat că în scopul de a ne deparasa de tehnologii autorul propune să le înlocuim cu altele să instalăm anumite programe care vor monitoriza sau ușura utilizarea tehnologiilor sau în conluzie ne propune să fim friendly cu tehnologia, adică să o utilizăm în favoarea noastră, lucru greu de realizat.
Drept concluzie ar trebuie să fim TOT timpul CONȘTIENȚI de ce utilizăm la momentul de față tehnologia dată, aplicația dată și să ne întrebăm dacă nu cumva am depășit timpul și norma bunului simț. Apropo, despre bunul simț și etica utilizării gadjeturilor autorul propune să fim sinceri atunci când nu avem nevoie de telefon să îl luăm de pe masă când suntem la prânz sau cină cu cineva și să-l utilizăm doar atunci când putem motiva acest lucru (spre exemplu așteptăm un aple urgent sau altceva).

This was a quick read which, despite some outdated information (specifically on apps which are more than likely not on app stores anymore) it did give me pause to reexamine my relationship with my phone and digital devices. I do agree with the reviews saying it could have been a web article due to all the filler, however I'm satisfied with what I got out of it.

[Amanda · Rating 1 out of 5]

Some good thoughts, but the useful content is more suited to an article or two. Way too much filler was needed to turn it into a book. Didn't finish it.

[Andrew · Rating 3 out of 5]

Довольно неплохая книга, перегружена личными впечатлениями и опытом, хотелось бы видеть больше фундаментальных исследований, больше каких-то поразительных примеров и шокирующих фактов. Не хватает живых примеров последствий цифровой зависимости и ее влияния на жизнь. Книга небольшая, читается легко, информация не то, откровений к сожалению нет.

[Sketching Girl · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fantastic book, it is written in an easy to read conversational style. You could be talking with your best friend. I got this book out of the library because I thought I, and my entire family, could do with cutting down how much time we spend on the computer. This book is perfect for that. It really gets you thinking about the effect all this technology (in all it's forms: Computer, Smart phone, ipod, MP3 player, etc.) has on you and your day to day life. It makes you think how much you are using all this technology, and whether you really need. There are small exercises for you to do, to actually get back to living your real life - your offline life - and remember what life was like before you spent 8 hours a day on your computer / smartphone, etc.

I also love how this is written by someone who loves technology, has become majorly addicted to using technology, and speaks from experience with the knowledge of how you use technology. So many times you read something and instantly recognise yourself - Yes I do that, yes that is exactly what I feel. It's very real and relevant to everyone who lives and breathes technology, sometimes without realising they do. A great eye-opener, and a great way to teach you to make the most of the technology in your life, cut out what you don't need, and optimise what you do. Start living your own life today, with real friends and real family relationships, and stop worrying about your online social network life, or spending hours mindlessly surfing the internet. What are you actually getting out of it? This book answers that question and so many more!

I loaned this from the library, now I'm going to buy it to makie it a permanent addition to my bookshelf. Valuable life lessons I cannot live without.

Я очень давно пытаюсь структурировать свой электронный день. Я ооочень зависима от гаджетов (3 телефона, 2 дополнительных зарядки, Kindle, iPad, ноутбук). Помимо гаджетов у меня 7 эл. адресов, Facebook х3 (личный и 2 рабочих), Instagram х2 (личный и рабочий), Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram. Последние три недели не проверяю почту после 9 вечера и вот реально ничего не произошло.

Моментальное реагирование на сообщения приводит к эффекту сжимания времени.

Тратить время на книгу не нужно. Краткий смысл "диеты":
ЭТАП 1: ОСМЫСЛЕНИЕ
- рассчитываем Индекс Виртуального Веса (ИВВ) и анализируем, как технологии влияют на нашу жизнь (лишние расходы, мало времени проводим с семьей, невнимательность и тд);

ЭТАП 2: ПЕРЕЗАГРУЗКА
1-2 дня Детоксикация или отказ от гаджетов;
3-5 день Использование гаджетов не более 45 минут в день;
6-8 день Использование гаджетов не более 1 часа в день;

ЭТАП 3: ПОДКЛЮЧЕНИЕ
9-11 день Определить те гаждеты и приложения, которые необходимы;
12-15 день Применение только необходимых гаджетов и приложений, которые повышают продуктивность;
16-18 день Общение с близкими в офлайне и без телефонов на столе;

ЭТАП 4: ОЖИВЛЕНИЕ
19-23 день Определение границ электронного дня;
24-28 день Проанализировать предыдущий опыт "диеты" и начать жить по новым правилам.

A nice book for those who want to take charge of their digital lives and get back with their close ones and relatives. It consists from the day to day exercises and tips that one by one lead to the better control over consumption of digital content and communications. On the downside, the book is more concentrated on the addiction to social networks and communication through the internet rather than data addiction like mine. Still, a great book, especially for parents and those who need control over social networks addiction.

[Sylvain · Rating 2 out of 5]

The author tells us how he was spending too much time on social networks and it was hurting his relationships. He thus decided to do a drastic digital diet to try to reconnect with his friends and family. In this book, he offers some guidance on how and why we should question our usage of technologies.

Some of it is interesting, but I think some of the chapters could have been removed (particularly when listing apps you could use on your phone, or on the web). I would not recommend this book.

[Marija · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought this would be a good follow-up to Sherry Turkle's "Alone Together," but it wasn't. Aside from advocating a "diet" of a certain number of online/connected minutes per day, his solution is not so much to simplify but to use even more online tools and apps to be more productive in shorter time.

[Jeff · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nothing spectacular or particularly insightful, but it was quick. None of the gimmicks or exercises are very valuable, everything just revolves around making conscious choices instead of jumping at every ding, vibration, or flashing light that the nearest gadget gives off.

[Crystal · Rating 3 out of 5]

So even though the "diet" isn't well fleshed out or organized, the ideas in this book made sense to me. I've been questioning my reliance on gadgets and social media and such, and this helped me make some decisions that make me feel a bit better about it.

[Petrina · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book provides good insight, and while I didn't actually follow the plan structured by the author, it did challenge me to think about how I could place more control in my hands and re-evaluate the tech addictions I do have.

[Dani · Rating 3 out of 5]

So so. The book asks important questions and encourages having better technology choices to live better. People don't need a detox like the author suggests. They need to ask the question why. People aren't "addicted" to Facebook or technology. It's the symptom of a larger problem.

[Rosemary Gunn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it! So reassuring to know that I'm not the only one struggling with finding a balance amid all the technology.

[Eric · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was quick, had some good ideas but reading other people's reviews after the fact rings true. I would just skip this but it is short and easy.

[Mbstrongman · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick read. I picked up a few tips on using technology.
